Pitches wanted (environment, climate, etc.) | up to 50 cents per word

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: DECELERATION

Deceleration welcomes submissions from freelance journalists, writers, and media producers whose interests fall within the scope of our mission. We welcome proposals for short- and long-form news articles, community op-eds, personal or creative nonfiction essays, theoretical/political analysis, calls to action, multimedia content, and hybrid concepts (documentary poetry, photo essay), and more.

We are rooted in San Antonio and South Texas and interested in writing from across the greater bioregion on environmental justice themes, including relationships with land, air, water, people and other beings, anti-extraction and regeneration efforts, and profiles of those creating better futures for the Earth and all Her families.

Pay is negotiable, but generally ranges from $250 for shorter explanatory stories, videos, or photo essays, to $0.50/word for longer-form investigative and time-intensive features.
